True, but horrible and great are wide apart, so there's still room for
improvement. I'd say Akane still will mess up occasionally and Ranma
will occasionally put his foot in his mouth.

I don't think you can say Akane is a good cook just because she made
several edible dishes. She's improving and Ranma will eventually get
better at eating her cooking without tasting his foot first.

But you are right in that stories set after v38 of the manga shouldn't
have Akane the horrible cook she starts out as. That's not to say there
can't be stories where she learsn to cook better of course.
